Here are some of the photos I’ve taken with the iPhone app called “Instagram”. The app is free and it’s my favorite way to share photos from my phone and I can’t recommend it enough. There are plenty of different filters you can apply to your picture, and I just love the square format. I’m using Instagram to take daily(ish) photos which you will be able to see in the “Instagram Moment” widget that I’ve added to the side of my page!

It’s our last full day in Japan! We decided to take part in a day tour to Nikko, which we heard was a very beautiful part of Japan. I got these ‘Crunky’ chocolate cookie things the night before in Akihabara. I was amused by the name of the candy and figured I try it out.. I also got it just so I could say I got crunky in Japan hahaha The biscuits were pretty tasty.
We had a short rest stop on the way to Nikko and I caught a fish there!
Hahah just kidding, this is a Japanese pastry called Taiyaki which has red bean paste filling inside. Very yummy
I also bought some other Japanese snacks to try during the day.
We started our 6th day in Tokyo by taking a guided tour of the Imperial Palace. It was a free tour of the grounds, we just had to get approval beforehand and we did this by applying on the website.
This is the Chowaden Reception Hall. It’s where official state ceremonies and functions are held. This is where the Imperial family appears for every new year and for the Emperor’s birthday.
